About

We're Still Here! As of March 2023, Venice Theatre remains open. After Hurricane Ian made landfall September 28, 2022, the west side of the main building, the lobby, the offices, and rehearsal rooms had some water damage, but are intact. Our two other buildings on campus – The Technical Arts Center and the Raymond Center (old temporary library) are being used. In January 2023, the Pinkerton Theatre inside the main building reopened. Please visit our website for updated information. Venice Theatre is one of the largest and most active community theatres in the United States. Located in Venice, Florida, we are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that has been providing entertainment, education and engagement to our community since 1950.
